do not refer to the workingmen them
selves. God knows they have had
experience and to spare. But that
class Of cynics who can see no good in
a strike, and who can point out multi
furious evils, will, if they open their
eyes, see the good effects which will
result from this popular protest.
In the first place the Pinkerton pre-
ventive patrol Ca sad misnomer) have
grown bold under the protecting wing
of monopoly. They are not only will
ling to protect the interests of capital
lists, but are not above having bit of
fun at the expense Of human life.
This has grown so intolerable that
numerous State Legislatures have bills
pending before them prohibiting nom
residents being sworn in as special
police or deputy sherifIs. Ultimately
these Janizaries will be obliged to
work for living, and it is to be
hoped that their leaders and abettors
will find their proper places within the
walls of the penitentiary,
During the coal famine produced by
the strike much solicitude was ex-
pressed by the reptile press for those
who suffered from want. Of course
these people deserved sympathy, but
what great reforms were ever brought
about without suffering and privation?
If these corporations, which have been
for years tyranizing over and fighting
the people, did but know it, they are
sounding their own death knell. At
every protest made by suffering labor
against the encroachmcnts made upon
their slender living the time draws
near when the bonds shall be baoken.
This process of absorption canot go
on indefinitely. 1t must end some
where. If the powers of the people,
represented in Legislative bodies, can
not control the creatures of their own
creation, then will higher and more
dangerous power take it in hand.
The bill now before the General
Assembly of New York is a more in
the right direction, and though it is
not likely to be put into immediate
operation, its substance will ultimately
be enacted into law. 1t is bill pro-
hibiting pooling, corners, and all such
satanic devices to limit and control
articles Of prime necessity.
For the brave men who dare defy
the power of monopoly, and fling down
the gauntlet to the great coal pool,
there should be only praise. They
have not hesitated to do that which
cringing legislators and a venal judi
ciary dare not. And it is through this
heroism, born of misery and despair,
that we are to be brought to higher
plane of existence as a nation and q
people. The sturdy, honest citizens,
the superstructure of our civilization,
will yet save the Republic from the
wreckers who have so long been al

Be Candidate Sincere.

1t always pays to be honest with
ones self 1t always pays to be true
to ones convictions in political mat
tiers. A man cannot afford to be
untrue to his own convictions. A
man cannot afford to be a hypocrite
to himself. 1t humans him. To act
a hypocritical part is beneath the
dignity of a true man. We all dis
semble more or less in the every day
relations and affairs of life-dissem-
BILE in many little things and ways,
which assembling becomes part of
our nature, and is harmless, perhaps
But to stife your convictions and TO
give seeming assent to humbug
and fraud, because they are popular
and for fear of persecution and
pecuniary loss if you speak your
mind and oppose them, is cowardice:
and no man wants to assume the
character of a coward.
Candor is one of the noblest traits
of charactr. We may be in error
All of us must often err-many times
ignorantly. But it is the part of true
manhood to be candid with ourselves
and our fellows; to. confess our err
rors when we discover them; our
faults when we know them. SiD-
certify is the richest dowery that
nature bestows upon man. A sin
cere, conscientious man need never
hide or deny his convictions; he
hardly ever does-Charlotte Chronicle.

where, and here and there handsome
modern residences are being erected
The new store of Mr.. Frank Thorn
ton is said to be the largest and
finest in the State. An iron foundry
has been put in successful operation.
Brick machines running, new railroads
building, &c.
Mr.. Dallas Aston, hard work
ing colored man was robbed few
weeks ago of $270. His house was
broken open in the the absence of his
family. He has the sympathy of his
many friends. No clue to the
robbers.
The residence now being built by
Mr.. Dallas Perry will equal almost
any in the town and surpass that of
any colored man i'll the State. He is
a builder and contractor and is doing
credit TO himself, the town and his
race.
Mr. George Williams, young man
of this town is startling the country
with his excellent hand carving.
His work is confined to canes and was
taken up by himself He sells many

On Thursday night Of last week a
very large crowd assembled in Evans
Chapel to witness the marriage of Mr.
David p. Scurlock to Miss Clara
Bell Freeman, both of this town.
Miss, Clara is the daughter of Mr..
Benton and CLANCY Freeman and a
graduate of the Normal-class of Sc.
Mr. Scurlock is a son of the late
Cornelius Scurlock and a brother to
Mr. George G. Scurlock. The cere-
mony was performed by Bishop Hood.
On Friday afternoon of last week
the MESSENGER visited the State
Normal School, and found everything
moving on like clockwork. Prot
Smith and his assistants are succeed
ing admirably. The exercises on the
blackboards showed what the students
are doing in geometry and advanced
algebra. The oratorical exercises,
essays, debates, &C.. were very good,
especially by the young ladies.
1t is gratifying to know that the
colored people of this town are push
ing to the front and coming in posses
sion of much of the best property in the
town as well as owning and oc-
cupying some of the handsomest
residences. Several fine residences
owned by colored men are rented to
white men, among which we may
mention i. G. Whitfeld's and Mrs.
NJ. b. Harris-two of the best resi-
dences on Gillespie street occupied by
white tenants. Still some folks can't
see where we are rising.

GREAT TELESCOPES.
The Difference Between the Large and
Small Ones-The Lick Telescope.

oIQdll Ou0S-II ne ISl0SCOp6s
From the Forum for September.
II is frankly to be admitted that for ordi-
nary work enormous instruments are not
advantageous; those of moderate dimensions
will far more easily and rapidly the work
of which they are capable. 1t would be
poor policy to shoot squirrels with 15-inch
cannon. Observers with smaller instru
ments, if they have sharp eyes and use them
faithfully, can always find enough to do.
and can do it. we'll But the great tele-
scope has two advantages which are de-
eisive. In the first place, 1t collects more
light, and so makes it possible to Use higher
magnifying powers. and thus virtually to
draw nearer to the object studied than we
can with a smaller one; and, i'll the next
place. in consequence of what is known as
'diffraction, the image of aluminous point
made by lage lens is smaller and sharper
than that made by a small one. The smaller
the telescope the larger are the so-called
spurious disks of the stars, so that in the
case of a close double star, for instance,
where our 9-inch telescope shows only an
oval disk the 23-inch shows two fine dis
tinctly separated points. II is true that the
atmospheric disturbances, which always
prevail to a greater or less extent, very Sc
riously affect the "seeing" with large in
struments. The "power of the prince of
the air. which is to an astronomer the very
type of the total depravity of inanimate
things" on nine clear nights out of ten, de
prives great telescope of much of its just
superiority, 50 that on an ordinary night a
good observer with an aperture OF IL or
Is inches can make out all that can be seen
with "a or 80 inches at the same time. And
yet the writer has constantly verified in his
experience the observation OF Mr.. clark.
who said:
You can always. see with larger tele-
scope everything shown by smaller one
little better if the seeing is bad; immensely
better if it is good"
But when really good night comes, as
once in a while it does then to great teie-
scope heaven opens, new worlds appear
new forms and features are discovered, old
illusions are dissipated and observations and
measurements before beyond the reach OF
human skill become possible, easy and ac-
Curate Sin fact, the reasonableness OF want
ing still larger telescopes is idcntically the
same as that of wanting telescope at all
OF course, it is impossible to predict what
discoveries will be made with the great
Lick telescope when it is erected on lts
mountain of privilege-very likely none
IT is not possible now to go out at night, as
some seem to think, and pick up discover
les" as one would gather flowers in forest;
But we may he sure of this, that IL VIII
collect data, with micrometer, camera ana
spectroscope, which will remove many ola
difficulties, will clear up doubts, will actu-
ally advance our knowledge, and, what is
still more important, will prepare the way
. and hew the steps for still higher climbing
toward the stars.
